Monterey Car week is one of my favorite events of the year. A week of car shows, car meets, cruises and other car related events. Not only are there some of the rarest, coolest and most expensive cars in these shows but also the streets of Carmel and Monterey are filled with like minded car enthusiasts and their personal collector cars. Here are photos of some of my favorites from the week.

Nine Days in New York /
It can be hard living so far from most of your close family members, so when I get an opportunity to visit them, I take it. I spent nine days in New York visiting my dad and grandparents. I have always loved the east coast vibe and the fast pace of big cities and late spring is one of my favorite times to visit New York. I stayed at my dads house in Jersey City most of the trip and spent a lot of time exploring parts of New York that I hadn't experienced before. My dad works in New York as a real estate photographer so he runs around the city constantly but never gets a lot of time to just enjoy whats there, so its nice to experience it with him when I'm there. There were a few places I wanted to check out including Self Edge, Left Field NYC, and Upstate Stock which took me to neighborhoods that I had not seen a lot of, like Williamsburg and Queens. I also got to spend some time on the upper west side of Manhattan and of course I hit some of the typical shopping spots in SOHO. After spending a few days in the city, me and my dad drove 4 hours up to Horseheads which is a small town in central New York state to visit my grandparents. This town was established in 1837 and has an interesting history behind the name that dates back to the revolutionary war, which you can read about at the link. While in Horseheads, we went to a memorial day parade and checked out some waterfalls near Watkins Glen. Overall this was another fun trip to New York and I always love traveling and spending time with my family since they live so far away. I cannot wait until my next trip out there.
